Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was entering actress Alia Bhatt's building in Juhu, Mumbai to attend her 24th birthday bash on Wednesday when reportedly his car accidentally ran over a photographer's leg.

According to a report in India.com, when SRK reached Alia's house, the photographers gathered around him to click his pictures when his car accidentally ran over a photographer's leg. The report further says Shah Rukh Khan immediately stepped out of his car and made the photographer sit in his car and asked his bodyguard to take him to the hospital.

The photographer was soon treated by SRK's personal doctor and the actor took care of the medical expenses, the report added.

An eye-witness was quoted by the website as saying, "Shah Rukh was extremely polite and asked the photographers not be scared as he will take care of the entire incident. The photographer who got injured is a new guy and he extremely got excited seeing the actor. He tried his level best to capture Shah Rukh...and didn't realise that he will hurt himself as the car was moving in full speed. But thankfully, nothing major happened and the situation is now under control."

 

Last night was a nightmare for me and my team as one of my team member had an accident while covering the Alia Bhatt birthday bash. Deepak who recently joined me comes from a very small village on the border of Nepal and India. He is just getting to know how to shoot and infact I often shout at him for not taking pictures the right way. I give them their space but I prefer that they follow certain quality standards. Deepak sadly was not able to take good pictures of #shahrukhkhan when his car arrived. The others who are perhaps more experienced managed to get his pics. Perhaps getting scared that I would be upset, he challenged himself and the car tyres ran over his legs. Obviously neither was the actor or the driver at fault. We have been chasing stars like idiots without checking the risk factors. But we continue doing so due to competition. SRK was kind enough to get out and send him in his own BMW and not even the Jeep to Nanavati hospital. He has donated an entire ward there in the memory of his mother plus he knows most of the good doctors there. His manager too later called to check and made sure all the expenses were taken care off. I and my team are grateful for his kindness and Deepak is recovering well.
